Jones 06/28/2009) (song#5893) The barn dance was lovely as the fiddles played low The couples were happy as the waltz was played slow But my heart was heavy for a love that was false As we danced to the tune of the Bluebonnet Waltz The sweet girl in my arms didn't know what to say But she knew that my thoughts were of some yesterday Won'dring if somehow I'd find a dream that was lost As we danced on to the pretty Bluebonnet Waltz Oh, the Bluebonnet Waltz, pretty Bluebonnet Waltz It was just a disguise for a love that was false (instrumental) Oh, the Bluebonnet Waltz, pretty Bluebonnet Waltz It was just a disguise for a love that was false The sweet girl in my arms didn't know what to say But she knew that my thoughts were of some yesterday Won'dring if somehow I'd find a dream that was lost As we danced on to the pretty Bluebonnet Waltz When Heartaches Belong To Yesterday (Larry W. Jones 06/29/2009) (song#5894) Just yesterday two hearts beat as one But how was I to know love would come undone Maybe tomorrow will bring true love And no more will I sorrow for my lost dove Erase one love and add a heartache That's all I had left when she made my heart break Yesterday was when our love was strong Oh, but today is when I now sing this song When heartaches belong to yesterday And a song in my heart turns the hurt away I'll no longer yearn for days of wine In that fine tomorrow when love will be mine (instrumental) Erase one love and add a heartache That's all I had left when she made my heart break Yesterday was when our love was strong Oh, but today is when I now sing this song When heartaches belong to yesterday And a song in my heart turns the hurt away I'll no longer yearn for days of wine In that fine tomorrow when love will be mine Anywhere In Texas Is Good For Me (Larry W. Jones 07/01/2009) (song#5895) Bluebonnets cover the hills all around There's still lovers in all the little towns A lone star was taken from night time skies And placed in dreams of cowboys such as I Wide open prairies where the wind blows free Anywhere in Texas is good for me Cowboys here grow up tall where they belong Listen to dogies bawling at their songs Anywhere in Texas is good for me Anywhere in Texas is where I'll be Anywhere in Texas is where I roam Anywhere in Texas is home sweet home (instrumental) I'll die with my boots on, just wait and see Buried by the roots of cottonwood trees Til then I'll round up longhorns on the spread I'm born to ride the prairie til I'm dead Anywhere in Texas is good for me Anywhere in Texas is where I'll be Anywhere in Texas is where I roam Anywhere in Texas is home sweet home I Waltzed Into Texas (Larry W. Jones 07/01/2009) (song#5896) I took a walk to find out where love dwells Without a doubt all my dreams have come true I looked around and fell under a spell I waltzed into Texas where I found you I waltzed into Texas and my dreams came true I waltzed into Texas where skies turned blue A love song was played that never will fade I waltzed into Texas where I found you (instrumental) Sorrows are gone and will never return My tomorrows will all be fresh as dew My true love for you forever will burn I waltzed into Texas where I found you I waltzed into Texas and my dreams came true I waltzed into Texas where skies turned blue A love song was played that never will fade I waltzed into Texas where I found you Running Deer (Larry W. Jones 07/01/2009) (song#5897) She told me the tribe called her Running Deer Born to a mesa chieftain Tall, without a flaw, that was all I saw Her life was as a leaf turns She came to town from Buffalo Mesa Did as her tribe had bade her But Albuquerque would never praise her Hard to describe or grade her She didn't look like a common worker Though her hands showed hard labor In Albuquerque she was no shirker But no one was her neighbor A season passed and the work didn't last She thought of life on Buffalo Mesa It was such a shame but it became plain Albuquerque tried hard to disgrace her Running Deer had to leave Albuquerque She never returned again She learned to grieve before she was thirty An outsider from her clan Like a chieftain, I never saw her cry An Indian marchesa It was there Running Deer would go to die Up on Buffalo Mesa She told me that she was called Running Deer Born to a mesa chieftain Tall, without a flaw, that was all I saw Her life was as a leaf turns She told me the tribe called her Running Deer Born to a mesa chieftain Wreck In The Redneck Cadillac (Larry W. Jones 07/01/2009) (song#5898) I drive a ninety five Sedan de Ville It's barely alive but it climbs the hills When they see me comin' across the tracks They all say, here comes the wreck in the redneck Cadillac I never look in the rearview mirror Afraid I might get a look at my face It took me years but it's gettin' clearer I have now become the ace of a Cadillac disgrace The old front grille of my Sedan de Ville Gives the boys at the country club a chill The black paint is scratched and the windshield's cracked There ain't no match for the wreck in the redneck Cadillac (instrumental) Stopped at a honky tonk on my way home Parked my sedan in a no parking zone I'm in the can with no shirt on my back It sure hurts to be the wreck in the redneck Cadillac I drive a ninety five Sedan de Ville It's barely alive but it climbs the hills When they see me comin' across the tracks They all say, here comes the wreck in the redneck Cadillac Here comes the wreck in the redneck Cadillac I Wish I Was A Rodeo Cowboy Again (Larry W. Jones 07/02/2009) (song#5899) Down at the arena an old cowboy chimed in Well, I looked at him and he looked about half dead I was just a greenhorn and I began to grin But I stopped when I heard what that old cowboy said He said I'll never be a bronc rider no more And I won't bite down on that piggin' string and win I remember when I was young and saddle sore I wish I was a rodeo cowboy again I wish I was a rodeo cowboy again Pullin' numbers from a hat at the rough stock pen Old cowboys like me still stand tall but just pretend I wish I was a rodeo cowboy again (instrumental) Too many years have come and then just flown away I used to tip my hat and draw my winner's pay Greenhorn, I was top hand in the P.C.R.A. Now, I'll just brand you with these words I have to say I wish I was a rodeo cowboy again Pullin' numbers from a hat at the rough stock pen Old cowboys like me still stand tall but just pretend I wish I was a rodeo cowboy again I wish I was a rodeo cowboy again I wish I was a rodeo cowboy again Rose Of Thibeadeaux (Larry W. Jones 07/02/2009) (song#5900) Well, I dreamed every day of her coffee with chicory And I dreamed most every night of her cajun shrimp gumbo But it seemed every thought of her added to my worry For that Louisiana darlin' just south of Thibeadeaux There's an alligator swamp where a cajun bayou flows And if you don't want to tromp on snakes, you better not go A pirogue won't get you to where the hurricane wind blows To that Louisiana darlin' just south of Thibeadeaux My heart beat for that cajun lady, drove my mind insane Evangeline was waiting there and I just had to go I wracked my brain for ways as how to get to her again She's my Louisiana darlin' the Rose of Thibeadeaux (instrumental) There's an alligator swamp where a cajun bayou flows And if you don't want to tromp on snakes, you better not go A pirogue won't get you to where the hurricane wind blows To that Louisiana darlin' just south of Thibeadeaux Well, I crossed the old Sabine and tears welled up in my eyes A kind cajun man could see my true love for her, I know He told me that my southern belle was a real cajun prize She's a Louisiana darlin', the Rose of Thibeadeaux Hello Louisiana darlin', oh how I missed you so |
